What Was The Pettiest or Silliest Thing You Saw Someone Consulted For?

The most petty thing I saw happen to a soldier was get scolded for wearing his patrol cap outside. But hey... Aren't you supposed to wear the patrol cap outside? Yes you are. Soldier was attending a Change Of Command ceremony in which everyone was directed to wear the beret. During the hour between the rehearsal and the ceremony the soldier removed his baret, put it in a ziplock bag so he wouldn't get it sweaty and dirty before the ceremony. The 1SG saw he had on his patrol cap and asked why didn't he have his baret as ordered. The soldier explained he has it and showed it to the 1SG and informed the 1SG that he is trying to keep it fresh and looking neat for the ceremony. 1SG yelled at him for being different from everyone else and that no one else was wearing a patrol cap and to look around at everyone else and follow the visual example. Just at that moment two SFC were walking by WITHOUT head gear at all. Which is a huge NO. Solder looks back to 1SG and said, "Well ... I can do that if you want me to." 1SG said "Do that!"as he stormed off.

For not having green socks

A female asked me if she should purchase a dress that fit her just right but was two sizes bigger than what she says she was or pay more to get a similar dress that cost twice as much but was the correct size and also fit. I told her to cut the tag out of the cheaper dress and sew a new tag in it with the correct size.

At the last job I had to make sure everyone had socks/hose on their feet. Mind you, we were in a locked building behind 2 locked doors with absolutely ZERO contact with customers or stakeholders. I also had to check to make sure that pants did not have rivets. Either would warrant a counseling. Both would get you sent home with points.
